Quick reply in lunch break...

This is incorrect if you setup the correct things at boot time, which you have to do anyway.

Ereswap modifies rcs-late to force swap to sd (if available).
FlopSwap has an optional checkbox this adds/removes a file in event.d, (IMO better than modifing rcs-late) this again pushes swap to sd at boot if available.
Both programs fallback to device swap if not available.
